These woven cotton blend sock features  the background used in Yachinboaz Ben Yisrael II (2021) by Kehinde Wiley.  The painting takes its inspiration from European art history and portrait traditions.  The subject, holding a golden-sheathed sword, adopts the same stoic pose as many historic European monarchs did in their court portraits.  Rather than elaborate robes or furs that would be typical of someone maintaining this stance, Wiley's sitter is dressed in a vibrant red crewneck, jeans and Nike sneakers.    One size fits most Cotton blend stretch Kehinde Wiley printed on the sole Net proceeds from your purchase support the artist in residence program Black Rock Sénégal, founded by Wiley in 2019.  ...

Wrap yourself in art and culture with our new exclusive beach towel featuring Kehinde Wiley’s 2022 painting titled The Death of Hyacinth (Ndey Buri Mboup), first exhibited in Kehinde Wiley: An Archaeology of Silence at Foundazione Giorgio Cini in 2022, as a collateral event of the 59th international art exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia.
